Aaron Kramer is finally getting the seat he's aspired to land—atop the pitbox as the new crew chief for Cole Custer's entry in the 2025 NASCAR cup season. Kramer has long been in the racing scene, most recently having worked as lead race engineer for Chris Buescher and the no. 17 team. Prior to that, he joined RFK in 2016, and has worked on the Cup-side of things since 2019. Also in the mix is experience with K-Automotive Motorsports, Arrington Racing Engines, and Penske Technology Group where he provided wind tunnel support and operating the 7-post rig for Team Penske's NASCAR and IndyCar programs.
“Aaron’s engineering pedigree and his history with RFK Racing are great assets for Haas Factory Team. We’re proud to have him join our team,” said Joe Custer, president, Haas Factory Team. “NASCAR, and the Cup Series in particular, has become very engineering-driven. Limited track time and the nuances of the NextGen car have put a premium on simulation and data, and to really maximize all that information, you need people who can apply that information to the car and work closely with the driver to fine-tune the car. Aaron is that person, and we’re confident he can build a team of like-minded people who will have our race team ready to go for 2025.”
